[THC] Monkey Heaven Rye Barrel Porter gets an honorable mention at FOSSILS competition

[Dr L Swihart]

I'm having some now!  Monkeys in Heaven.

I went to the home of new brewers Jeff and Jennifer right after work 
today and provided the stuff to transfer and measure gravity for their 
Light American Ale.  It tastes great and might have just a bit more 
fermenting to do.  The gravity is 1.012 and it's lightly malty and very 
lightly sweet.  Their basement has been a great place for this batch, 
which is a very nice session beer, to ferment a bit slowly but steadily 
(and stealthily too, I still think a tiny seal breach around the bubbler 
grommet).  We'll bottle it in about two weeks and then they'll bring it 
all to the Christmas meeting!  (Just kidding.)  :-)


> It's like getting 4th place....
And BTW in fact it's a little better than "4th place" because judges 
only give an honorable mention if the distinction between the two beers 
vying for a place was very very small, i.e. it was hard to decide and 
the entries scored nearly the same (or the same).
